Fees

At National Legal Service, we are committed to providing transparent and fair pricing for our legal services. We understand that legal costs can be a concern, so we strive to ensure our clients have a clear understanding of fees from the outset.

Private Fees

We provide competitive rates. We aim to offer a high-quality service at a reasonable cost, tailored to your specific requirements.

Hourly Rates

Our hourly rates vary depending on the seniority and experience of the solicitor handling your case. We ensure transparency by explaining the rates applicable to your matter in advance, with an estimate of future costs.

Fixed Fees

For certain types of cases, we offer fixed-fee arrangements, allowing you to budget with confidence. Fixed fees are available for:

Drafting legal documents such as an application to Court
Specific legal advice on an issue

We offer a fixed fee of £750 plus VAT (and disbursements) for Divorce Applications (excluding financial matters).

For all other applications, we will speak to you about your case and provide you with a fixed fee which is specific to you.

Disbursements

In addition to our professional fees, some cases may require payments to third parties, known as disbursements. These can include court fees, barrister fees, or expert reports. We will always discuss potential disbursements with you and provide clear estimates where possible.

No Hidden Costs

We are committed to providing complete clarity regarding costs. You will receive regular updates on fees and expenses throughout your case to avoid any surprises. If the scope of your matter changes, we will inform you and provide a revised estimate.

Legal Aid

We proudly offer legal aid services to those who qualify. Eligibility for legal aid depends on your income, savings, and the nature of your case.

Legal aid is generally automatic if you are a parent involved in PLO or Care Proceedings.

You can use the Government Legal Aid Online Calculator to check if you qualify.

Alternatively, our team can assess your eligibility following your enquiry.
